That's great John!
That's great John!
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Here's my newest. I'd had just the proof (which was still in its shrinkwrap) but not the prints. Now I have both! Greg also sent this in its own slipcase, which wasn't mentioned in the auction!

My newest pride and joy, a Whelan original
That looks great, Oy! And just think - when the hair grows back on your leg, he'll be fuzzy!

Congrats John. I've bought several proofs off him. They all have their own slipcases.Originally Posted by jhanic
Congrats, John.
Great seeing your new Whelan original in person, Dave!

Oy, you need to send that to Michael Whelan. I'd love to hear what he has to say!

Seriosuly! I'm way curious, too. That guy did such a good job of simplifying it into a really nice tattoo without losing any of the Whelan-ess of it.
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
It blew my mind how fast he did it, too - it took like 1/4 the time mine did!

maybe cause he wasn't busy oogling oy like he was you?
Well, you never know.
Anyway, here is MY new pride and joy:

Actually I sent an email w/pic late Saturday, not sure if Audrey will respond but they are always busy so I am sure it will be awhile if they do respond.
I hope they do!

You charmer you.
And, since you can never have enough pictures of your ass on the Internet, here's my other pride and joy (the booze was courtesy of oy-the-brave - cool, huh?):

The booze was just a small thank you for starting the ball rolling, and for being there to make it so much fun

Nice inscribed TLRH hardcover, Daghain, and great tattoos both of you!

I really think the booze was a major coup - who knew The Captain had a tattoo version?
And yeah, how many other Daghain's do you know? NO ONE is getting my book!
Although, I did have to spell it for him 3 times. I think he thought I was kidding.

I knew about Tattoo. :blink: Blackberry Captain is good. In fact, it's the ONLY Captain Morgan that's good.
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
Well, I could totally see that.
I thought the bottle was totally awesome. Oy rocks! And, if you want to have a ton of fun, get him in on your next tattoo. We soooo had a blast. It made it that much better to have someone as into it as I was - and our artist LOVES comic book art and cartoon art.
S C O R E ! ! !
Honestly, he has some EXCELLENT freehand stuff - he is REALLY good. I may plan another trip to Vegas just so he can do my Ka tattoo, he's that good. And, he's a lot of fun to talk to.
And Oy is a ton of fun. I have to say the experience was much better than the actual tattoo, Oy was a lot of fun to hang out with.

**totally off topic here, but every time I see your new sig, Daggers, all I can think of is the cover to Needful Things! Same blue sky, etc., and it grabs me every time. Let alone the 3 clowns in the pic**
So back on topic - I got my Blaze ARC today!! woohoo!!!
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
Woot! Nice addition, Gretchen!
And yeah, we just happened on New York New York's Halloween display with the two people who are totally freaked out by clowns. Who can resist?
Just after that, at dinner, we got into a ketchup vs. mustard debate. Apparently ketchup scares Maerlyn (yeah, I don't get it either). So, I said to her, "So, you're saying ketchup covered clowns would be the scariest thing ever?" and she was all "YES!" And there you go.

Ketchup- and whipped cream-covered clowns. Even scarier. Apparently.
